S-WORKS EXOS

THE SPEED OF LIGHT

Lightness is more than just lightweight. It’s when agility’s met with power. It’s when simply looking at your shoes, of all things, motivates you to ride. And that’s what the S-Works EXOS have captured. They’ve changed cycling shoes forever, stripping them down to only the necessities, and leaving you with the feeling of lightness.

99 GRAMS

S-WORKS EXOS 99

These shoes will be your own piece of cycling history. That’s because they’re the pinnacle of shoe performance and technology. Every engineering trick in the book went into making a sub-100-gram (size 42) shoe that doesn’t give anything up to performance in the name of weight. Every detail, from the multi-directional carbon plate to the material and pattern of the laces, has been obsessed over and scrutinized. It’s the absolute best we could make, and only 500 pairs will ever be made.

THE LIGHTEST CYCLING SHOES EVER MADE

When Every Gram Counts

To make these 99-gram phenoms, we took a space-age material called Dyneema™, gathered the engineers that brought you the Tarmac, and created a design that follows no rules. We redesigned the heel counter, removed the toe box, developed a 50-gram carbon outsole via ply-by-ply carbon analysis that took nearly as much time to develop as the Tarmac itself, and cut every possible gram of material we could to make the lightest pair of cycling shoes ever made.

NO FLEXING ALLOWED

Stiffness Without Sacrifice

With materials like the non-stretch Dyneema™ upper to cradle your heel, we’ve ensured excellent power transfer. Pair that with a 50-gram outsole with stiffness equal to other S-Works models and you get maximum efficiency in the lightest possible package. Good luck flexing these shoes.

ADAPTIVE SCIENCE

Exoskeleton Comfort

We didn’t forget comfort. While nearly everything else has been stripped from these shoes in the name of performance, we kept all of the ergonomically designed, scientifically tested Body Geometry features you’ve come to love. But the comfort of EXOS goes beyond Body Geometry. These shoes have a stiff Dyneema® exoskeleton that cradles your foot, and it’s been combined with a malleable toe box that gives you the comfort of a slipper. Top it off with lightweight laces that evenly distribute pressure across your foot, and you’re left with all-day comfort you can rely on.

150 GRAMS

S-WORKS EXOS

The S-Works EXOS are the lightest production cycling shoes ever made. We’ve researched shoe weight across every industry, and only the most extreme examples from niche sports are nearly as light as the 150 grams (Size 42) shown here. Our team obsessed over it for four years and finally landed on a design that locks the foot with a Boa® dial for the on-the-fly adjustability that our World Tour athletes need—all at the lightest weight.

LIGHTWEIGHT RACE PERFORMANCE

Gram Counts

To make a shoe that’s 150 grams (per shoe, Size 42), we took a space-age material called Dyneema™, gathered the engineers that brought you the Tarmac, and created a design that follows no rules. We redesigned the heel counter, removed the toe box, and developed a carbon outsole via ply-by-ply carbon analysis that took nearly as much time to develop as the Tarmac itself.

NO FLEXING ALLOWED

Secure Stiffness

With materials like the non-stretch Dyneema™ upper to cradle your heel, we’ve ensured extraordinary power transfer. We also used the proven lock-down of an IP-1 Boa® dial for an even more direct connection with minimal power loss. And when you pair all of this with a 66-gram outsole that has stiffness equal to other S-Works models, you get maximum efficiency in the lightest possible package. Of course, this was all developed with our World Tour riders, so good luck flexing these shoes.

ADAPTIVE SCIENCE

Comfort

While comfort may sometimes be a race-day-afterthought, it’s a necessity to perform at your best during long days in the saddle. And while nearly everything else has been stripped from EXOS in the name of performance, we kept all of the ergonomically designed, scientifically tested Body Geometry features you’ve come to love. But the comfort of EXOS goes beyond Body Geometry. These shoes have an adaptive exoskeleton that cradles your foot with the comfort of a slipper, and to cinch it all down, we’ve trusted Boa® to provide all-day adjustability and comfort.
